And my hand will be stretched out on Judah and on all the people of Jerusalem ,
cutting off the name of the Baal from this place ,
and the name of the false priests ,
bbe @
Zephaniah:1:5 @
And the worshippers of the army of heaven on the house-tops ,
and the Lord '
s worshippers who take oaths by Milcom ,
bbe @
Zephaniah:1:6 @
And those who are turned back from going after the Lord ,
and those who have not made prayer to the Lord or got directions from him .
bbe @
Zephaniah:1:7 @
Let there be no sound before the Lord God :
for the day of the Lord is near :
for the Lord has made ready an offering ,
he has made his guests holy .
bbe @
Zephaniah:1:8 @
And it will come about in the day of the Lord '
s offering ,
that I will send punishment on the rulers and the king '
s sons and all who are clothed in robes from strange lands .
bbe @
Zephaniah:1:9 @
And in that day I will send punishment on all those who come jumping over the doorstep and make their master '
s house full of violent behaviour and deceit .

Zephaniah:1:10 @
And in that day ,
says the Lord ,
there will be the sound of a cry from the fish doorway ,
and an outcry from the new town ,
and a great thundering from the hills ,
and cries of grief from the people of the Hollow ;
bbe @
Zephaniah:1:11 @
Because of the downfall of all the people of Canaan :
all those who were weighted down with silver have been cut off .
bbe @
Zephaniah:1:12 @
And it will come about at that time ,
that I will go searching through Jerusalem with lights ;
and I will send punishment on the men who have become like wine stored over-long ,
who say to themselves ,
The Lord will not do good and will not do evil .
bbe @
Zephaniah:1:13 @
And their wealth will be violently taken away ,
and their houses will be made waste :
they will go on building houses and never living in them ,
and planting vine-gardens but not drinking the wine from them .
